Sex Equality

Women have made great strides toward equality over the past decades, yet gender bias continues to hinder women in the pursuit of employment, in the sales and rental of housing, and in the daily pursuits of education, health services, and more.

Today, women make 77 cents to every dollar that a man makes, and in recent ERC tests conducted of a home sales company found that 60% of the time women were required to make a higher down payment than men when purchasing a home. Women continue to face harassment by their employers or fellow employees, and by their landlords. And women face unfair and illegal treatment – in the form of firings or refusals to hire – when they are pregnant.
